What does "Dead Mint" mean?

Probably a simple question, but I was looking through Ebay at some Randall Knives, and a lot of them say: "Dead Mint." What does this mean?

Perfect. Untouched. Exactly as it left the factory. With Randall, this is semi-common, as the waitlist is so long (5 years). By the time some people get theirs, they don't want it anymore.

Thanks, I figured it was something simple like that. Have a good one....
